Have you ever taken a trip by rail?

At 32, I never have and I don't really have any desire.  The only way I would personally think it would be neat would be if I was doing it in Europe.

I've never taken a trip by rails.  I certainly wish you a terrific trip!

I took my first trip by rail when I was about 13 years old.  It was fun and exciting for a country girl.

It's a shame more people don't enjoy train travel. It's a great way to see the country and is a lot less stressful than driving. It's also much more comfortable than flying. I highly recommend it if you've never traveled by train.

when I was a young teen, I used to take the train from Illinois to Florida to visit with my grandmother for a month every summer.

Slept in a private bed, sink, toilet etc, and ate in the dining car.

Was an adventure. My dad would alwys tip the porter on the train to make sure I was ok, and he would check me by knocking on my door at night, and make sure I had nice eating companions at dinner time.

This was not unusual when I was growing up. We did not hop on a plan.  It was not like that when I was a kid.

My dad did for business purposes.

I have never traveled by train, but it is something that I would like to do one day. Have a fun and Blessed trip.

Trains are great. My first trip was to Springfield when I was in fifth grade. We saw Lincoln's home and ate our sack lunches on the train. I've taken a few trips since then, mostly to Chicago. It's nice.

I am very excited at 64 to be taking my first trip albeit short by rail to visit with my sister-in-law for a week. It is just from FL to SC but I am a hermit and a miserable one I figured this will get me out of the house.  Later she and I might go on a long trip by rail up into canada.  Have you ever taken a trip by train and did you enjoy it?

You should be proud of yourself for getting out and doing something so amazing. You're blessed to have someone who'll share an adventure with you. I hope it's great fun for you both.
